[quote=dplayer18;96137]I used to watch it alot, but haven't watched it lately. I remember when Drake used to be on the show.[/quote]
Nooo he's not Drake! He's Aubrey Graham/ Jimmy Brooks.
I hate it when people call him Drake! haha.

LoL I totally brought that up in the "What do you Listen To" thread. I was like "Every time I see "Drake" all I can think of is "Hey that's Jimmy Brooks from Degrassi"! He's so not "hard"...
I haven't watched it in YEARS but I used to! Last time I watched regularly was when Darcy first came on the show I think. I was shocked when I read some months later that JT was killed!! That sucked :(

[quote=dplayer18;96145]LOL I couldn't remember his other name.[/quote]
LOL, I can't stand Drake. Every time I hear his song I just think of Jimmy Brooks in a wheelchair. Like he was a Canadian Actor before he was a rapper lol. And a very good one at that.

Wow, so you missed season 7? OMG it was so good.
Spinner had Cancer, Darcy got raped, Manny and Jay were together. Mia's baby daddy was revealed, omg it was soo good!
Oh and I miss JT! I bawled like a baby when he got stabbed. You must catch up! lol.

Oh don't think I don't stop once in awhile when I see it on the-N channel. But I'm usually confused...
And this? Is hilarious, so I have to give credit where credit is due (Also from the music thread):
[QUOTE=usanike;92920]Jimmy Brooks knows what its like to be shot. Drake... not so much. :lol2:
[/QUOTE]

[QUOTE=dplayer18;96165]What ever happened to Darcy? Last time I watched was right after she got raped.[/QUOTE]
I think she up and moved somewhere to do "mission work" aka she got the job on the new 90210.

[quote=Challenger6;96177]I watched until the start of season 8. It's just a completely different show at this point. I can't follow it anymore.[/quote]
Season 8 is lame. KC, Claire, Derek, and Ali? Seriously? LOL
Oh and OPD, I get you. Degrassi is confusing if you don't watch every episode. I miss Craig.
Anybody plan on watching Degrassi goes to Hollywood? Perez and Pete Wentz are in it.

[quote=OtherPplsDrama;96175]I think she up and moved somewhere to do "mission work" aka she got the job on the new 90210.[/quote]
Yes, I believe she went to "Africa". BTW, they are writing off Mia as well because she's doing that CW Vampire show.

LoL right, I still think Emma and Manny are 12....

[quote=tjhallow;96204]Yeahh,[B] Kenya is in Africa[/B]. All I remember is Peter talking about going to Africa in one of the newer episodes.[/quote]
Well duh, I know that (insert childish comment here). :sarcastic_blum:

I love degrassi, but i liked the earlier seasons much better. Now they are bringing so many new cast members into it, and it does get extremely confusing and hard to follow. I'll probably end up watching Degrassi goes to Hollywood because it is more about the earlier cast members like Craig, Marco, Paige, Manny, Emma, Jay, and Ellie. I miss Sean, he should definatly come back. And, i love Spinner.

I agree with everything you said. Season 7 was good but I just can't get into season 8.

[quote=carlyyyx180;96303]It'll take some time for me to really get into season 8. They have so many different story-lines and cast members, it's too much.[/quote]
I'm done with season 8, I'm still on the fence about it. They have already played the episodes in Canada so I just watched them online when they came out.
Oh and if anybody cares the-n is playing the episode where JT dies tonight at 11.

From a Google search on season 9. I did not write this:
"Also, I was watching Nina's Last Day on-set video again and during the filming shots Peter looked too happy for Mia, I know he's probably cheating on her or something. I just have a strange feeling about this, especially since the episode is titled "Just Can't Get Enough." For those who don't know yet, Marco will be making an appearance in season 9. Kelly will be in season 9 so I'm pretty sure Emma will be present as well. A few days ago they were debating whether they should change the music to the theme song as they were shooting new inserts to the opening sequence. Also, I think season 9 will be focusing on basketball as the main sport. Why do I get the feeling that Derek, KC and that Reese kid will be on the same team..?
Raymond cut his hair!!! He looks so much better. I like his outfit too. (Depth, I know you like this lol) Wow, Aislinn (Clare) looks pretty outside of her character. This is the first time seeing Sam (KC) out with the gang. Why does Jamie look like Peter back in season 6?! He needs to change up his hairstyle. Melinda &amp; Charlotte look nice as usual :)"

OMG......I LOVVVVVVVE degrassi!!!
The new characters are okay, (I'm really liking Ali, but the others are meh) but I totally miss all the oldie but goodies like Ellie, Marco, Paige, Jimmy (Drake...PFFTTT), Ashley, etc.
What are your favorite episodes?
I think what bothers me is that the new characters weren't integrated into the show slowly enough. It was literally as if you turned on the show one day and it was a bunch of new kids....very bizarre. It just cut off! We'll never find out if Paige is HIV positive (remember they made a big deal about it taking 6 months?) or the ends of a bunch of other storylines. It sucks.
Back when I used to have the-n I'd watch the old school episodes (from the 80s) late at night. Has anyone ever seen that version? It's really good. SO "after school special" but good. Snake, Spike, Joey and Claire are all pimply teens and it's hilarious.

I agree with everything you said and I have seen some of the 80s episodes. Oh how I miss Joey Jeremiah.
Back in the day, I used to be OBSESSED with Degrassi. Season 2,3,4 and 7 are my favorites. I know 7 has more of the newer characters but I really liked the Darcy and Spinner storylines.
And to be honest, I really don't mind some of the lakehurst kids (Johnny, Bruce, Lucas, Jane) but some of the others (Holly J, Sav, and Anya) are lame. And I hate Danny &amp; Derek.
I can't stand how the new characters are reincarnated versions of the old characters.
Jay-Johnny
Ellie- Jane
Johnny's crew- Jay's crew
Clair &amp; Alli- Emma &amp; Manny
Toby &amp; JT- KC &amp; Conner
Holly J- Paige
My favorite episodes have to be Rock &amp; Roll High School (Ashley &amp; Craig battle of the bands thing), The one where Jimmy (Drake pffffftttt) got shot, and JT's death and the episode after it.
I hate how the older characters have the sucky storylines now. I miss Craig.
